Kayaks, Clams & Mothers Day

Saturday Darryl and I got up early and went Kayaking out to the estuary and hidden beaches for some snorkeling and shell gathering.

Darryl started to snorkel but decided it was too cold. So I went instead.

He took many pictures of my backside while I was snorkeling to prove that I did it. Don't ask.... they will never be posted. What is it with guys not being able to look through a camera and see the quality or even subject of the picture? Hmmm?

Saturday night was the ward dinner to celebrate Dia De La Madre. After I took a few pictures I showed a couple of the children how to take pictures and they took several fun shots.

Yep.... this is the best picture that Darryl could get of me. We were told at the end that there was no Candy in it, it was just to take out our frustrations on I guess.
I went Scuba diving Saturday Afternoon and about 20-30 feet down I found these little clams.
We cooked them up and ate them for lunch. Yummy!!
They are very small and they call them 'rice' clams because they are ususally served in a rice dish.
They were delicious.

Mothers day was topped off with a wonderful conversation with our missionary, Cody and all of his sisters and some of his Brothers-in-law. It was a wonderful weekend.
